the program. you're watching are coming to you live from central moscow welcome to the program now it's where a top story for the first time ever a so new spacecraft has failed to one dog from the international space station leaving the crew stuck in orbit two russian cosmonauts any nasa astronauts are ready to return to earth when an alarm signal technical problems are. reports. of a difficult maneuver and not a good time to hear warning bells after spending nearly six months in orbit three of the current i says crew get held up trying to head for home while trying to undo the automatically between the space station and. field to open.

an alarm went off aboard the space craft saying that the airlock isn't properly secured and the vehicle isn't isolated from the vacuum of space after a thorough inspection it turned out this was a false alarm and this is no ordinary jammed lock this journey home takes intense preparation. they haven't slept for a day preparing for the landing and checking the spacecraft costumes and testing the air tightness and now they have to go through that all over again which means another day of no wrist it's very tough but they're well trained with. safety is the watchword here mission control center needs to be one hundred percent certain before giving the next green light we could have proceeded with the undocking and landing today but we decided to do it tomorrow just to be sure there is nothing wrong with either the station or the landing module. now the problem is solved nothing should stop so you spacecraft from successfully detaching his plans in case of emergency in case the spacecraft fails to undock again there's always

a back up module that they came here to for i pad to earth and there's always plan c. as then by say you spacecraft that's ready to take go for the isis and bring the stranded crew safely back to earth not only the kind of moscow region. elite anti terror kill teams run by america's intelligence agency have now taken the u.s. led war beyond afghanistan those are the claims in a new book called obama's wars by veteran journalist bob woodward he reveals that a secret army of some a three thousand afghan fighters sent to hunt al qaeda and the taliban have now infiltrated pakistan. from the think tank project for pakistan of the twenty first century says these death squads may become a major source of problems for afghanistan and its neighbors. but the united states continues to rely on warlords in afghanistan when when i heard about the this mercenary force of three thousand well trained of guns are you still there is one

part of the story that is still missing and that is where these three thousand of gone volunteers for this mercenary army came from and i have no doubt about the answer to this question and that is they came and they were recommended by some of the warlords of course as you know there is a there's a problem of loyalty and enough to understand you cannot recruit people without knowing exactly where they're coming from so most of this three thousand force must have come recommended from some of the warlords and these warlords are really milking the u.s. government and the u.s. military they're making a lot of money and of course we all know the story of what happened in toto back in november and in december two thousand and one when it was some of bin laden actually escaped from total vote of thanks actually to the very allies of the u.s. military be of gone warlords who some of them according to reports took money and let many almost one thousand al qaeda fighters really skate so you really these are really shifting loyalties and these three thousand fighters must have come from

somewhere and they must have loyalty is to some warlords inside of god has done and this confirms actually that we will have problems about these militias and these mercenaries getting out of control at some point in the future and coming up later in the program follow our teams close a team on a journey that explores the diverse. city of the sampling region in russia's far east. middle east peace cutting of nuclear weapons and the un so make over should have been the highlights of thursday's general assembly session but mahmoud ahmadinejad again a stole the show and that's despite sending the audience marching for the exits artes and associates in new york says it's not out of character for the evening in president. obviously president mahmoud ahmadinejad has earned himself a reputation over these last couple of years and is known to traditionally come up with theatricals when he addresses the united nations general assembly but

yesterday's speech was in fact a surprise this was the first time that the reading and president mentioned the events of september eleventh and the underlining message that he sent to the international community was something that sent the u.s. delegation out of the assembly hall yet. there were three viewpoints first that a very powerful and complex terrorist group be able to successfully cross all the years of the american intelligence and security car you don't get to talk this is a privilege you point which has been supported mainly obligated by american statesman so you can do some segments within the u.s. government orchestrated the attack to reverse the declining american economy and its grips in the middle east in order to steve design a screechy the majority of the american people as well as most nations and politicians around the world agree with this view while mahmoud ahmadinejad also took time to extensively criticize dominating nations he talk a lot about the history of certain world powers dominating others other nations and

of course in these last couple of days mahmoud ahmadinejad has really been a one man reality t.v. show he's been in new york for several days and he has said had several media appearances and has really been sending out mixed messages to to the to the international community while the international community has been trying to say that we're ready for dialogue we want dialogue to resume again and of course your new york yesterday thursday one. shot was giving his speech one of the biggest protests took place we saw buses of people arriving with signs saying mahmoud ahmadinejad is a terrorist a tyrant and so on there was a. cartoonish figure of ahmadinejad right outside the united nations and people were really getting worked up criticizing the. indian human rights situation as well as it's controversial you read him in richmond program barack obama of course who was also addressing the u.n. general assembly on thursday obviously brought up the issue of iran he said that the united states is still expecting that dialogue could resume and hoping that

iran would just start negotiating directly again i'm not sending out different messages but the u.s. does says it still wants iran to prove that its intentions are peaceful yesterday russian minister russian foreign minister sergei lavrov said what the international community wants iran to do is start cooperating with the international atomic energy agency sign up to the important international nonproliferation treaties as well as really get rid of all suspicions and really prove that it's open and it has nothing to hide. but should we can count on the fact that this signal was heard we see signs proving that iran is seriously reviewing the current situation and studying the propositions which were given to worry iranian colleagues the foreign ministers of russia the u.s. china france germany you carry hold a meeting where these an ambiguous lee confirmed that our emails to start negotiations we expect that soon we will hear from iran that they were ready to

begin this process well even though these calls from the international community came repeatedly asking iran to join the dialogue again we have definitely been seeing very mixed messages from the iranian leader over the last couple of days starting from the. speech at the united nations general assembly to sending out messages and giving contradicting statements used he said that if the united states continues attacking iran if the united states attacks iran's uranium facilities that a war would take off then he was saying that yes iran is ready for dialogue but iran is not happy with the format of the dialogue being suggested and then he would say that iran has been ready for dialogue this entire time so we're going to have to wait and see if a real dialogue takes place any time soon. well this week's arctic forum in moscow looking at its projected mineral wealth the polar icecaps never been hotter later artie's cross-talk is zones in and whether the international scramble for

there is more from peter lavelle and his expert panel later this hour here on r.t. now the u.n. a nuclear watchdog has narrowly rejected a resolution proposed by arab nations to get israel to open up about its nuclear activities they argue that israel's widely assumed atomic arsenal threatens regional security while the u.s. voiced concern that the proposal could jeopardize the current fragile peace talks but a former middle east diplomat says that until israel signs the nonproliferation treaty there will be no peace. if one one middle eastern power would have would possess nuclear nuclear armaments and the others i guess security in the region would be under threat there is no either have seen that they want they think that it is their national interest to be ambiguous as far as.

their possession of little or not but of course the whole world the whole world knows that israel has nuclear weapons and we don't see any need for these weapons in the middle east in the middle east and of course we will never reach a comprehensive peaceful settlement as as long as israel hasn't joined the n.p.t. and hasn't accepted the additional protocols of the of the n.p.t. . well web site has plenty more for you to explore and here's a taste of what people are watching right now that are to. a u.n. probe has concluded that israeli commandos committed willful killing and torture when they boarded a gaza bound in may. and an unemployed of muscovites says he's the victim of a three million dollar theft police are on the case of find out how the money was

this time we're heading seven thousand kilometers from moscow to the country's far east russia's biggest island is also one of the country's most prosperous regions located not far from japan it was the seat of territorial struggle between moscow and tokyo in the early twentieth century but in the late one nine hundred thirty s. became home to thousands of koreans sent there by japan as cheap labor alexei got to chefs and spoke to members of that unique and unity who still call the island their home. aunties close up team continues its inside in the circle in region in the russian far east and this time we'll talk about what this region is like in terms of its social structure now this region has more than half a million residents predominantly russian more than eighty four percent of the people living in the cycling island and everywhere around the region are ethnic

russians also we have less than six percent of ethnic koreans the diaspora which was sent here by japan at the time when this this island was occupied by the land of the rising sun and the korean diaspora in the cycling is the largest of all russia we know that all of us half a million koreans living in every way across russian mainland but the biggest chunk of this diaspora is living in here in the stockholm region and we did a report with inside on the tragic story of these labor migrants in this part of russia let's have a look at this report right now. korean team that prefers to be called the idea russian style this nineteen year old man worked in saddam's school mines for more than four decades under two different political regimes he still remembers the night his life changed completely. japanese soldiers came to our village in korea in one thousand nine hundred three and dragged me and some of my family out of our

house they said they were taking us to sakhalin to work in a mine and promised we would only be there for two years because you can see i'm still here. came lives in a small mining village in eastern sakhalin home to several hundred people who share his story koreans were sent to sakhalin by japan as forced labor migrants to work in call mines thus they supply talk with the resources needed for the war. the japanese occupation ended more than six decades ago and most of the coal mines are no longer operational but the koreans are still here. just under a thousand koreans were sent to cycling by talk while their country was on the japanese rule thanks. now there are almost fifty times as many living on the island and if the third generation has adapted to live here some of

the older people who see themselves as forced migrants still dream of going back given their holiday gatherings turn into political rallies as you can demand historic justice. this organization deals with we've got three ation and has helped more than fifteen hundred koreans return home over the past twenty years its president says this number would be higher if talkee or provided help. because. as we believe japan is guilty of causing our situation in the first place since nine hundred eighty five we've heard tokyo apologize twice you know but it hasn't gone anywhere from there there's been no action that's why we rely on our own resources and help from russia and south korea. moskos stance is to assist the repatriation of the suckling koreans and local authorities say they try to do just that but the number of people wanting to leave is diminishing every year but it is going to go with a but will fully cooperate with local korean organizations on

a pattern but ethnic koreans are getting more and more into someone in life they held positions and then ministration there is successful in regional business and they get a good education that's why some even come back after a patch nation to korea he. says he'd happily return to korea but all of his family are here so like many within the diaspora he sees no point in leaving his home even if this was not the home he chose. reporting from the cycling we. all want invention that's a doubt of the made the world smaller is television later martin andrews looks back at the days before our high definition high five flat screens to watch soviet life as seen on t.v. . first television broadcast in russia it was in one nine hundred thirty one by the nineteen fifties people in the u.s.s.r. could watch three television travels and receive us like this one here.

a half billion dollars a year would you know question about has the details. carbon trading was one of the key elements for reducing greenhouse gas emissions agreed and the key out a product called russia was the last to ratify the product which came into effect in two thousand and five under the trading system a government issue permits to kompany a certain volume of greenhouse gas if a company than once to emit more c o two equivalent than it can buy the right from in another company that will emit less the system also works between countries but even if the mechanism were widely adopted it still would not properly address the problem of greenhouse gas emissions the challenges are it's more from what your political level i mean we have you know china is a new power in the world that is growing and it's growing its emissions we have the united states that is still a bit reluctant. to reduce emissions because that will hurt the economy we have for

europe europe that's very active the first domestic carbon trading proposal was made by russia's knowledge his bank is burbank the c.m. thirty five companies made bids for seventy seven point five million tons of c o two equivalent meanwhile ukraine's national environmental investment agency wants to created joint carmen trading platform between russia kazakstan and belarus carbon trading russia really just kicked off the approval fifteen projects which reduce emissions thirty small scale so far with somewhere around to now just under forty million tonnes of carbon to put out the context that surrounds three hundred fifty million euros but the potential is much greater however the private sector is has returned to about making long term investment in content trading as the kyoto protocol exploits and twenty twelve and its success has not yet been a great the weak governmental support for emissions trading is adding to the

uncertainty of these markets. with a long term view because we believe that this by the difficulties we are observing in terms of finding a new international agreement we believe that we will be leaving and that means to you to constrain the war so far very little money has been made from carbon trading in russia without profit incentives it's hard to persuade private companies to get involved in the markets but the governments will get another chance to rewrite the rules in two thousand and twelve when the kyoto protocol expires and possibly build in more financial incentives for companies to go green might you know question a business i want to. measure up they can always find more stories on our website called sash business.
